Lots of memories on this table, even the table itself has sentiment. The pottery is all in different spots now, but the door is still there. The #lamp isn't a favorite, but I do love it just the same. #DailyPictureTheme #Lamp

We plant lots of natives here on the farm. Included in a couple of gardens is this Little Bluestem Grass. It forms nice clumps that are only about 3 feet tall, a nice bluish green all summer that turns pink and bluish grey in the fall. Very pretty. #DailyPictureTheme #Grass

Every garden needs a place to store all the tools needed for garden care. We have a huge pole barn, but it was far from most of the gardens. So, in 2018, we had a shed built in a more central location, closer to the house. It has a good, sturdy #frame . #DailyPictureTheme #Frame

I don't often paint people or portraits, but my husband requested this one of our wedding in 2013, for our home. It hangs over our bed. #WIPWednesday #Painting #SpoutibleCreates

In gardening, I find that large #drifts of flowers have a bigger impact on the overall look of the landscape. Rather than plant just one of a variety or species, I plant several together, spaced out for room to grow. #DailyPictureTheme #Drift

Out here in farm country, I don't have need for my #pearls much any more. The closest I have is this plant called Pearly Everlasting, the favorite larval food source for the Painted Lady butterfly. This is why we use no insecticides, and grow many kinds of plants. #DailyPictureTheme #Pearl

In my work as a mural artist, I needed to know how to manipulate colors, tools and materials to give the effect I wanted. For this project, it meant tearing a lot of painter's tape to create the look of bricks. #DailyPictureTheme #Tear

Post a picture with your dog that doesn’t involve shooting them and throwing them in a gravel pit. No actual dogs in this photo, just a photo of what they did while I was out. Yes, that is a bag of grass seed scattered across the carpet, chewed shoes. 16+ years of bad dogs. #DogsOfSpoutible

My two girls out for a fall hike. They were very mischievous dogs, destructive and unpredictable. Never once thought about taking them out back and shooting them. My landlord tried to kill them though.

I will never understand why more people did not listen to her. She was always right. Every time.

When I was painting murals, I had to set up a schedule and #pace myself to complete the work on time without getting exhausted. I spread the work out over several days, factoring in drying time and my stamina. Big murals take a lot of time. #DailyPictureTheme #Pace

The main bathroom in this house was poorly designed. The door would hit the wall on entry, leaving a small opening to squeeze through. So we had it all torn out, wall moved back, and a #shower installed. Still tight, but works. #DailyPictureTheme #Shower

It's WIP Wednesday! So lets take this painting from start to finish. The person who commissioned the work wanted to restore the building, and requested a painting showing what it might have looked like new in 1880. #WIPWednesday #SpoutibleCreates #Painting #Art

This is me when I was little, school picture. Seems like a #long time ago, and it was! over 60 years. John F. Kennedy was president, girls had to wear dresses or skirts to school, women had few rights, no credit. Before Civil Rights. #DailyPictureTheme #long

Remembering and missing this little girl today. Byrdie was a sweet character, as athletic and graceful as a ballerina, and a sneaky little shit.

Our piece is just 2.36 acres of land, but we do our best to take care of the #Earth within our control. Leave the leaves, plant native species, wait to cut things down in the spring, IF we do at all. No pesticides used here. Sometimes Skye helps by digging out critters. #DailyPictureTheme #Earth

Every year, I save seeds from my flowers so I can start new plants the following spring. It saves me a lot of money. These 3 containers of babies will get potted up into 3 flats of flowers or more to be planted in mixed pots and around the landscaping for annual color. #DailyPictureTheme #Free

I'm sure a lot of people think we just let the weeds grow around here. There is a method to our madness, and by letting things grow, we have discovered a lot of interesting wildflowers we never noticed before. We still #weed , but mostly removing invasive species. #DailyPictureTheme #Weed

These used to be my favorite places to #sit , in a garden I had 20 years ago. I still have the fountain, it was just a couple of years old then. Still works! #DailyPictureTheme #Sit

2/22/23 The ice started building up as dark set in during dinner and the power went off. We sat by lamplight and read, very #tense , as the weighty ice and wind began breaking limbs on trees with the sound of gunfire, and a loud woosh as they fell. It was pitch dark outside. #DailyPictureTheme #Tense

In 2019 I installed a path through one of my gardens to make it easier to maintain, and created this little spot to 'Sit a Spell' and enjoy the gardens and views. The bench got remodeled and repainted after losing it's back splats. Love the barn quilt patterns. #DailyPictureTheme #Spell

11 years ago 4/13, my husband and I got married. We spared most expenses, opting for what we had or could get 2nd hand for apparel. I found a beige silk #skirt , & sequined sweater set to match for $21, added some jewelry. Found a tie to match for him to go with his suit. #DailyPictureTheme

Every passing year, taking care of this place gets more taxing. Keeping things under control is daunting, especially in spring when plant growth really accelerates! #DailyPictureTheme #Tax

I was thrilled when I finally found seeds for these annual phlox. I had grown them for years, then lost the seeds to age when I lived in too shady of a garden for several years. Calle 'Phlox of Sheep', I just love the #pale colors of them. My saved seeds are easy to start. #DailyPictureTheme

Not the easiest place to paint a mural, but this couple wanted the view of their garden that they lost when they added a room on the back of their house. In a tiny bathroom, over the commode, complete with #drapes . #DailyPictureTheme
